The only thing xp is stupid about is it won't let you define or set up

2 to the power of 16 = 32768 so that's a 16-bit address.
Same reason why integers max out at 32768 if 16-bit numbers.
Remember the old 640kb limit in DOS? Apparently IBM said
nobody would ever use that much memory hehe. Now you can
buy terrabyte drives for cheap.
